Docker

This feature is only available on VPS and Dedicated accounts. 

Docker is a container-based platform that allows you to build, manage, and run applications. While Docker is a third-party tool, you can use the Account Control Center (ACC) to install Docker on your account. Once installed, we keep Docker up-to-date automatically. 

Installing Docker on Your Pair VPS or Dedicated Account

Our Docker installations run in a rootless environment, which may limit certain applications. 

1. Log in to your Pair VPS or Dedicated account at my.pair.com.
   
   Don’t have a VPS or Dedicated account? Talk to our Sales team to see if upgrading accounts is right for you.
   
2. In the left sidebar, click the Dedicated tab
3. Select Docker from the drop-down
4. Click the Install Docker button

Docker installations may take up to fifteen minutes. 

Removing Docker from Your Account

No longer want Docker on your account? 

1. Log in to your Pair VPS or Dedicated account at my.pair.com. 
2. In the left sidebar, click the Dedicated tab
3. Select Docker from the drop-down
4. Click the Uninstall Docker button

Once completed, your account will remove the Docker installation. 

Reverse Proxy and Docker

With Pair’s reverse proxy feature, you can map a port to a domain or subdomain on your account. You can use this feature with Docker to easily access your application/container via a URL. 

For more information about how to use a reverse proxy, see our article: Reverse Proxies.
